I respectfully disagree with that. Forced indction gets the most looks, and a roots blower is still king when it comes to stealing the show. There's also some LS, northstar, and even polished up V6's that draw far more attention than "another BBC". For the wow factor the BBC is VERY overdone and at this point boring.

Sure makes a car go fast though!

No doubt it's a personal preference thing. I would agree that the sight of a roots type blower setting on a BBC looks pretty awesome and gets the most looks. But still, the cruises and shows I go to there are so many cars with SBC engines, it's like 69 Camaros, I like 69 Camaros, but seems everyone has one, but that's off topic.

Anyway, for more than one reason, I think BBC is the better way to get to your 700HP range.
